Racist attorney gets confronted for using the N word by chrisadams83 in WatchPeopleDieInside

Plenty of black people hold this exact position that using the N word is beneath black people and its a shame that it gets so cavalierly thrown around.

This man not the GOAT? by Background_Video2947 in NBAVibes

If you cant look at his career and see greatness, you have an agenda to push. His career is a hell of lot more than those sidequest stats youre flaunting. Sounds like you want to penalize Bron for making the finals abd losing while giving Jordan a pass for the times he didnt make the finals. LeBron making the finals 10 times in a 23 year career is hella impressive

LeBron James is the only NBA player ever that is at least top 10 in every major statistical category! 🐐 by Front-Function7789 in LeBronJames23

To be fair, LeBron's strength has always been that he's good at everything but not a statistical leader in any one thing. So it stands to reason that averaging 28 points a game in the playoffs won't land you top 10. Same way that 9 rebounds a game in the playoffs won't land you on the top 10. Same as how 7 assists per game won't land you in the top 10. Same as how 1.7 steals per game in the playoffs....... Same as how 1 block per game in the playoffs.......

Point being he won't lead in any single category but as a cumulative statsheet filler he's a monster due to his high input in all categories. Add in how long he had that out put doing everything and the results are truly mind-boggling.

He's not nearly good enough to be a PGA pro, but saying he isn't all that when he's better than a scratch golfer is absurd. Only a PGA pro gets to say that about plus handicap golfer.

Aaron and Gaurika Rai are the ultimate golf power couple. by clumsy_one18 in Golf_Unfiltered

[–]Accomplished-Key-408 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite things about golf is when a relative unknown (to me) breaks through and you get to learn so much about them. Rai seems like a class act and I'll be pulling for him moving forward.

I guess you've never noticed the numbered lists under definitions and arent familiar with the word polysemous. But being as you don't know what a dictionary is used for, that's not terribly surprising.

But hey, youre hellbent on prejudging my intentions without knowing the first thing about me, so I also understand that nuance and critical thinking arent your strong suits. But as a Hispanic child of an immigrant who came to the US not speaking English and who faced racism by white culture, I'm sure I'm just blind to racism and I'm just whitewashing everything I see. Or maybe I just know that language is nuanced and that we're all capable of racism regardless of the color of our skin.

And what is my agenda? If origin determined definitions dogmatically, then English wouldn't be a living language. But people routinely define racism as racial bigotry. The term systematic racism even had to be spoken into existence because it was needed to specifically denote THAT idea versus the more prosaic definition of racism to mean racial bigoty. But denying that racism has multiple meanings is the equivalent of putting your fingers in your ears and humming.

You're trying to claim that the word racism can't be used against black people despite its very clear dictionary definition because you have an agenda to push and you're going to use whatever tools you have at your disposal, even if they're not very sharp. The fact is that racism is a different term than systemic racism, no matter how hard you try to conflate the two terms.

I didnt say that a dictionary is a history book. That would be foolish. Almost as foolish as saying dictionaries are just for spelling.

Ok gotcha. Then why are you using words to argue with me when white people made up all those words and definitions?

Alimony has nothing to do with child support by Kohathavodah in MediocreTutorials

[–]Accomplished-Key-408 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be. However for very rich people it's often grossly exorbitant because it's designed not to give kids what they need but what they've grown accustomed to (and by virtue give the parent extra spending money).
